I found this site very helpful .
Any chance he can apply from here rather going back coz i am not very strong in finances
I am a care asst in profession working about 30 hours a week and have a saving of about 3500 in bank.
what if he does go back will he get his visa on my payslips and bank balance or will i have to work longer hours.

Anybody who can help me out in this hard time of my life

What is/has happened to his asylum case? Has a final decision been reached on it? If his asylum case has been refused and all appeals exhausted, I gather he'll have to return home to apply, unless he has a case under "the most exceptional compassionate circumstances", which, fyi, does not include having a wife and kid (unless it is, for example, a seriously disabled or ill child who needs 24hr care or something).

Otherwise, if you don't have any exceptional compassionate circumstances (I'll give you an example: can't apply for entry clearance from back home because there is a civil/ war, or no British embassy/high commission located there), then your only (stress only) hope is to return and apply from back home.

As for your job - your savings are a plus, but it isn't necessarily based on your earnings, but on ensuring you won't rely on public funds (well, him anyway) and you are more or less self-sufficient. You should provide lots of evidence on shared bills or living, and that you have a stable job and are doing well now, etc.

I think you need to take eliaseuk's as checklist and gather all the documents.

Get your finances/assets stronger as possible. Parents supporting letter if possible. Brother or sister supporting letter

Once you have all the documents then fill out the form.

Remember he will be checked at the airport so I suggest he should decalre himself overstayer/failed Asylm seeker and then show this to IO's at the airport. This will help him to fly back smoothly without any question asked.

On his arrival submit the application the very next day.

In pakistan it takes at least 3 month to get your number so be patient and do not give up.

The rest is upto God and God Willing the decission will be in your favour sooner or later.


Hope this helps

Not necessarily, all he has to do is inform the Home Office by writing a letter and asking them to return the passport as soon as possible so that he can travel. I contacted my MP about this and Home Office returned my passport to me. Once you receive your passport book, your tickets and off you go. but you might be asked few questions in the airport but its very rare as there is no exit checks made in the airport at present. if any questions asked then just be honest and say that you claimed asylum and now returning back home voluntarily to get entry clearance. And also please put all the correspondence you make with the MP or home office as the part of your evidence when you apply for your husbands entry clearance.
Goodluck.

The VAF2 application form needs to be completed truthfully! Accordingly the ECO looking at the visa application will know that he has been in the UK previously.

As regards visa applications I have heard it said "Get caught in the lie, wave the visa goodbye!" .... but not suggesting for one moment that you or your husband would want to go down that route.

If you have not already done so download the VAF2 application form ..... click here .... and view the INF4 guidance notes ... click here.

It doesn't make any difference at all from his application point of view but obviously from his personal point of view it will give him a moreal support as you will be next to him all the while providing that you could bear the cost of spending the time with him during the time it takes to process but certainly it won't make any harm to his application at all.

And another question is it better or not to tell the io in islamabad that he applied asylum and work illegally in uk.

Be honest with the ECO because they will find out everything so its better you tell them before they found out themself. I been honest with them by filling the application truthfully as well as writing a clear covering letter.

Goodluck.
